Weblogic Page having multiple portlets pointing to common controller

Hi,
I have couple of queries around design of weblogic portal -
1) I have a weblogic portal page which is divided into 5 sections which essentially means each section will have some dynamic content that will be rendered by 5 different JSPs.
From the design perspective we started off by having one single controller for each of the above mentioned 5 portlets. But later on realised it makes sense to have 5 different controllers i.e. each portlet associated with its own controller.
Is it a better design to have each portlet linked to a different controller?
2) Considering the same situation of point 1 i.e. a page having 5 portlets.
I have a servlet which should forward the weblogic page having 5 portlets. How should i forward to this page? Can i forward to a weblogic page? As far as my knowledge goes we need to forward to a JPF which corresponds to a single portlet for a page. In my case a page has 5 portlets. Each portlet should be invoked so that total page is rendered. How can this be achieved?
Many Thanks in advance,
Saurabh

Any thoughts on this ??

Single customisation page for multiple portlets - possible ?

Is it possible to create a single page to customise multiple portlets ?
Example : select star sign for Horoscope, city for weather, etc on the same page.
The preference store APIs allow us to set values, but always assuming that we are in a portlets 'edit' mode - we cannot provide the portlet instance ID ourselves.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

You could save your customization information into a custom DB table, rather than using the preference store (which can only be accessed by a particular portlet instance).

Pros/Cons of multiple shipping points

Are there specific pros or cons to having multiple shipping points for the same physical shipping location? I know that loading points can be used to differentiate different types of loading but are there any examples or pros/cons for why you would or wouldn't want multiple shipping points for the same physical location?
I know SAP doesn't prevent you from creating as many as are wanted, but I'm interested more in the business process or user impact.

Maderas,
Multiple shipping points can have many purposes, but one purpose that I am aware of and that is currently applied at my company is for determining types of shipments. For example, in plant "X" let's say that there are 3 shipping points:
X1 - large orders, require 3 days of pick/pack time
X2 - medium orders, require 2 days of pick/pack time
X3 - small orders, typically rush orders, require same day pick/pack time
You can set up your delivery batch jobs to print these different types of orders. For example, you can have X1 batch job to run 1x a day very early in the morning so that pick/packers have large orders to work on and you can have batch jobs for X3 orders to run 6x per hour near the end of the day to accommodate your rush customers.
I hope this information is helpful.

What is the point in having multiple columns in ORDER BY clause?

DB version:10gR2
When using ORDER BY clause, the rows are always sorted according to the first column in the ORDER BY clause. So, what is point in having multiple columns in the ORDER BY clause(i always see this in production codes)?
For the below SQLs' from SCOTT schema, the result sets are always ordered according the first column ename. When i added job asc and job desc, the result set doesn't change.
SQL> select * from emp order by ename;

Because there is only one employee with the name SCOTT,FORD ...etc in the emp table and your first column in the order by list is ename
you spot the difference now

Illustrator CS6 hangs saving files to local HD while having multiple server share points mounted

Mac OS 10.6
Illustrator CS6
Illustrator CS6 hangs (spinning beach ball) when saving files to the computer's local HD while having multiple server share points mounted.
I am NOT opening or saving the file to or from a server.
The server is mounted so that I can move my saved file to it once complete.
Unmounting the servers fixes the problem and Illustrator CS6 returns to being normal (not causing a spinning beach ball).
This is repeatable, not intermitent.

We were having similar issues working over a network. I believe it's a Mac OS 10.6 issue, something to do with the Mac finder searching for file dates or metadata on the servers. From what I understand, this has been fixed in OS 10.7. We can't yet move to 10.7 and after trying many possible fixes, found that a Mac finder alternative, Path Finder, fixed most server delays. It's not free, but you can give it a 30 day trial to see if it fixes your issue. Here is a link to discussions about other suggested fixes:

Multiple entry points into a Page Flow

Is it possible to define multiple entry points into a PageFlow ? That is, can I forward to an arbitrary Action inside a PageFlow (other then the standard begin) ?
If so, is there sample code illustrating this ?
Thank you
Cristian

The flow view should show the action from the anchor.

John,
That answers my questions.
One more thing though :
When using an anchor to forward from a jsp to an action in a pageflow,
the 'Flow View' does not show the corresponding link. Is that normal ?
Thank you

Cristian,
Yes the samples implicitly go to begin because jumping into the middle
of
some flow can lead to code that is difficult to follow and to debug.
If
there are pieces of a page flow that are useful in multiple contexts
you
might want to make them independent page flows or nested page flows
You can go from a jsp to an action in another page flow using an anchor
and
setting the href attribute, for example
<netui:anchor
href="/WebApp/anotherPageFlow/someAction.do">continue</netui:anchor>
notice that you set href= rather than action= because you are going
outside
of the local page flow.
If you want to go from an action in one page flow to an action in another
page flow of the same application you can do this
* @jpf:forward name="success" path="/anotherPageFlow/someAction.do"
If you want to pass a form to the action you can do that also. You just
follow the last example and add the form to the forward, for example
return new Forward("success", someForm);
I hope that covers it - john

I need to go from either an action or a jsp in one page flow to ajsp/action in another page flow, passing around a session scoped action
form.
What is the syntax for the forwarding path ?
All the samples I found implicitly
forward to the 'begin()' action in the destination jpf.
How do I tell it to go to
another action/jsp in the target jpf ?
Thanks

Having same portlet on a page more than once

I am faced with the task of allowing a user to add the same portlet to a page multiple times. The concept is identical to this: we have five news feeds and one 'News' portlet. We want a user to be able to add the 'News' portlet to a custom page as many times as they want. Then, within the preferences, they choose which of the feeds to display in each portlet window.
Is this possible? It doesn't have to be a matter of choosing a preference-- the requirement is just that the user can choose wich feed to display and we do not have to create a whole new web scv and portlet for each feed that we add.
Any help is greatly appreciated. We are using Plumtree 5.0.2 and have the EDK/GDK available in case there is a solution by writing Java code.
Thanks,
Mike

Two options:
Change the portlet logic so it accepts multiple feeds and presents them all in one portletRegister multiple instances of the portlet against the single web service - they should all have separate prefsDepends on how you want to present the content. One gets you a single portlet with content in one place - the other gets you the ability to have multiple portlets distributed on the page. Personally, I find the latter maddening, but it depends on the audience and your threshhold for pain.
Thanks,
Eric

PageParameterName and multiple portlets on page

Hello,
I'm using the pageParameterName (next_page_p1) multipage stuff
and it is working fine for 1 portlet. I then add another
portlet (different from first) that also uses multipage jsp's
(but different pageParameterName than the 1st: next_page_p2).
Both portlets display a link to their cooresponding 2nd JSP.
When I click on portlet #1's link, the entire portal page
redraws and portlet #1 shows the 2nd JSP, portlet #2 still has
1st JSP. When I then click on portlet #2's next page link, the
portal page redraws and portlet #2's 2nd JSP shows up, BUT
portlet #1 reverts back to the initial JSP.
It appears the problem is that this call:
... HttpPortletRendererUtil.parameterizeLink(pr,
PortletRendererUtil.PAGE_LINK,
HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(pr, "next_page_p1")
+"=/portlets/2nd.jsp" ....
is NOT including the extra parameters that other portlets need.
So when the user clicks on the URL link, the other porlets "lose
state". The PAGE_LINK only includes base information, not what
other portlets add to URL by using the parameterizeLink call.
If this makes no sense, I can send JSP's. But if you use the
multipage sample twice on a portal page, you'll see what I mean
(Change the pageParameter name in provider.xml file).
Any Ideas???
Thanks,
Matt Piermarini

as of my knowledge, this is not possible anyway.
why do you have two different portal projects?
the only choice I see is that you consume them via WSRP.
Login to PAT -> choose portal 1 -> go to portal management -> portal library -> remote producers -> configure the portal 2 producer by giving the URL to the WSDL of portal 2 -> then you need to tell portal 1 (consumer) which portlets of portal 2 you want to have in the portlet library of portal 1.
WSDL URL format:
http://<producerhost>:<port>/<producerportalWebContext>/producer?wsdl

Multiple Portlet Instances

Hi,
I need deploy multiple portlet instances of the same portlet with different
parameters.
What I means is I have 4 different pieces of conent which look same and can
be served by same portlet. So I need to define different instances of the
portlet with a parameter to pick different content.
How can I do this using Weblogic Portal Server4.0
Regards,
UDay

Hi Michael,
We explored this option, but will we need to know the Portalet id to get
the properties, to get a portlet id we need to use a unpublished api. Is
there a forward compatible way of doing this???

Uday,
You can use product catalog store provided by WLP to store portlet "custom
properties". For example, you can create a custom property set for your
catalog where you can define any properties, which you portlets will useat
runtime. Each portlet will be represented as a unique product item in the
repository. You will need to use EBCC to define custom property set foryou
catalog and portal administration app to populate these properties foreach
portlet "product item". You can also create a separate category "portlets"
in the catalog structure and put your "portlet" product items in there.
Once all this is defined, you can use the product catalog jsp tags to get
access to these properties in the jsp page.

My question is how can I attach such an attribute to a portlet

I

WLP does not yet support this feature. However you can emulate this

Can multiple portlets share the same pageflow ?

What is the framework behaviour if two distincts portlets are based on the same
pageflow .jpf file.
Will they share the classe instance or will it be two distincts page flow instances.

Yes, multiple portlets can share the same pageflow, and the instances
will be separate.

Having multiple problems with script - NTFS Permissions and AD Groups

Hi, all! I'm having multiple problems with my first script I've written with Powershell. The script below does the following:
1. Prompts the user for a corporate division under which a shared folder will be created, and adjusts variables accordingly.
2. Prompts if the folder will be a global folder or an office/location-specific folder, and makes appropriate adjustments to variables.
3. If a global folder, prompts for the name. If an office/location-specific folder, prompts for each component of the street address, city and state and an optional modifier. I've prompted for this information in this way because the information
is used differently later on in the script.
4. Verifies the entered information and requests confirmation to proceed.
5. Creates the folder.
6. Creates an AD OU and/or security group(s).
7. Applies appropriate security groups to the new folder and removes undesired permissions.

My problems right now are in the assignment/removal of security groups on the newly-created folder, and the problems are two-fold. Yes, I am running this script as an Administrator.
First, I am unable to remove the BUILTIN\Users group from the folder when this is an office/location-specific folder. I've tried to remove the group in several different ways, and none are having any effect. Oddly, if I type in the lines directly
into Powershell, they work as expected. I've tried the following methods:
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
$FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
$FolderACL.Access | where {$_.IdentityReference -eq "BUILTIN\Users"} | %{$FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($_)}
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
$FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
$BIUsers = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("BUILTIN\Users")
$BIUsersSID = $BIUsers.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($BIUsersSID.Value,"ReadAndExecute,AppendData,CreateFiles,Synchronize","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
In the first case, the script goes through and has no apparent effect because afterwards, I do a get-acl and the BUILTIN\Users group is still there, although when looking through the GUI, inheritance appears to have been broken from the parent folder.
In the second case, I get the following error message:
Exception calling "RemoveAccessRuleAll" with "1" argument(s): "Some or all identity references could not be translated."
At C:\Users\tesdallb\Documents\FileServerBuild.ps1:110 char:5
+ $FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : IdentityNotMappedException
This seems strange that the local server is unable to translate the SID of a BUILTIN account. I've also tried explicitly putting in the BUILTIN\Users SID in place of the variable in the New-Object line, but that gives me the same error. I've
also tried the solutions given in this thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/ad59dc58-1360-4652-ae09-2cd4273cbd4f/remove-acl-issue?forum=winserverpowershell and at this URL:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730951.aspx but these solutions also failed to have any effect.
My second problem is when I try to apply the newly-created security groups, I also will get the "Some or all identity references could not be translated." I thought I had found a workaround to the problem by adding the -PassThru option to
the New-ADGroup commands, because it would output the SID of the group after creation, however a few lines later, the server is unable to translate the account to apply the security groups to the folder.
My first Powershell script has been working well up to this point and now I seem to have hit a showstopper. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I was hoping to stay with strictly Powershell, but unless I can find a Powershell solution, I may resort to ICACLS.
As for the problems with my groups not being translatable right after creating them, I think I have solved this problem by using the -Server parameter on all my New-ADGroup commands and this example code seems to have gotten around the translation problem,
again utilizing the -Server parameter on the Get-ADGroup command:
get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) | fl
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
# Add the new normal users group to the folder with Read and Execute permissions
$GroupSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupName -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
$SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupSID)
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity,"ReadAndExecute","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
# Add the management users group to the folder with Modify permissions
$GroupMGMTSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupNameMGMT -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
$SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupMGMTSID)
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity, "Modify", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
Going this route seems to ensure that the Domain Controller I'm creating my groups on is the same one that I'm querying for the group's SID to use in the FileSystemAccessRule. It's been working fairly consistently.
Still having issues with the translation of the BUILTIN\Users group, though.

kindly help me on this issue.
Thanks and regards,

Hi Amirthraj,
If the flat file is static (if the content within it is same for all) then use the offset concept. First get the contents of the flat file into an internal table and later find the field that has to be in final internal table within the line, calculate the offset for the line and get the value into an workarea. Finally modify/append the work area into an internal table. Also wait for other experts answers for any other hassle free way to achieve the requirement.

New tab page shows multiple sites from the same domain

For example in the grid of sites it may show multiple pages from e.g. stackoverflow.com instead of just the single base domain stackoverflow.com (or alternatively the most used of the pages). Is there any way to limit each domain to a single page in the quick links tableau? In my opinion having multiple pages is not at all a navigational aid as sites generally provide their own internal navigation.

This allows you to group the tabs as well [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/new-tab-plus/ New Tab Plus] however it is preliminary.

I have a page with multiple quicktime players on it, and want to close all other players when any of the players is started.

What are the main advantages of having multiple WLS_FORMS instance servers?

Hi,
I know it's possible to deploy multiple instance weblogic forms servers (WLS_FORMS). What are the advantages of having multiple instance of forms server?
When we deploy forms&reports 11g the configuration process creates WLS_FORMS and WLS_REPORTS. Is there any advantage of having under the same physical server more than one WLS_FORMS server?
Regards
Ricardo

The exact advantages and disadvantages will depend on exactly how you configure your environment. Remember that everything good comes with a price. So for example, you can add additional managed servers to improve scalability, but doing this means consuming more system resources. So although you may now be able to service twice as many users, it may have cost you 1gig of RAM or more (just an example).
I would recommend taking a look at the documentation as it offers a pretty good high level view of the possible configurations and their advantages. Here is a good starting place:

The complete documentation set for FMw 11.1.1.3 and WLS 10.3.3 can be found here:
